About

I am a photographer and visual artist from Ukraine. In my work, I explore the
relationships between humans and nature, between people and connection with
their inner selves. I work with contemporary, documentary, and staged
photography, combining different methods. In my photographs, I combine the colourful picturesqueness of classical paintings with modern methods of working with digital images. I experiment with different digital and analogue techniques. I aim to create a positive change in people’s lives and the environment through my artistic projects.

I deeply engage with the topics of nature, climate change, and Anthropocene problems. Bringing awareness to Anthropocene problems through art and discussion is a form of education. In 2020, I wrote the thesis titled “Anthropocene Issues in Society and Contemporary Photography” and provided lectures on the topic.

Nude and portrait photography is a way for me to show people my inner processes. Behind every picture are two stories—one from my side as the author, depicting some processes going on in my mind, and the other from the person portrayed—their identity, hopes, fears, and happiness. I aim to capture each person’s most human and authentic expression using light.
